I made a recipe.....all by myself

Sausage and pepper pasta. I was pretty proud of it.

Now, I don't know what to do with the other two pieces of sausage that I thawed. I had an idea, but then, I lost it. Now, I am lost again....

Get some potatoes and carrots and a can of sliced stewed tomatoes. Brown the sausages, cut everything up and make a stew. Maybe an onion and/or celery too. Throw anything in there you want.

Last night Mum fried four minute steaks with some mushrooms.
They had three between them, and I had my one later with peas and sweet potato chips. Frozen oven sweet potato chips. Much nicer than normal oven chips, although a little lazy on my part.

Followed by a posh apple pie I bought when it was discounted at work, and shop bought fresh custard. Again with the laziness, but I simply cannot be arsed to make it from scratch and fresh does taste better than tinned.

Well, if I don't get my luxuries just after payday, how will I be able to run out of money before the end of next month

I forgot.
I took pics.

It was far yummier than it looked, honest.

sweet potato fries!

Sundae · 02-12-2014, 01:46 PM

Katsu chicken curry.

S'posed to feed two but I made it for the three of us, and all of us left some.
Although I did trial some home-made oven chips (fries) and made far too many.

The 'rents seemed to enjoy it all.
Personally I feel really queasy now. I just ate and ate and ate.
I'm not 100% sure this will negotiate my digestive system in the correct order, if you get what I mean.

Talked my daughter through making white clam sauce spaghetti while I made a salad. Now she knows. Hope to see it again in the future because it was quite yummy.

Pounded pork cutlet, Sautéed in EVOO, with homemade chili beans and a couple of slices of homemade bacon.

Sounds yummy Buster

Cooked for the 'rents last night, which I'm doing two-three times a week now.
It's a mixture of cynical goodwill building, emptying the freezer (mostly of food I've bought) and because Mum is super-stressed and deserves it.

I served up a more palatable mixture last night of course.

Sticky chilli Gressingham duck.
Vegetable biryani.
By the time it was cooked I wasn't hungry any more, so my tea was a couple of Tuc sandwich biscuits, just so I could take my medication. Sadness.

But Mum said their meal was delish, so that works for me.

Just made a crazy-delicious soup whose recipe is on the Wegmans web site - Tomato Basil with Orzo. I had it this weekend ready-made and it was tasty and relatively low-cal, so I picked up the ingredients when I rolled back into M'town this afternoon and simmered up a batch.

Wow. This soup is not only delicious, it's versatile, sort of like that black pencil skirt (guys, I'm not sure what your equivalent is). It does use one cup of 'light' cream (out of 13 cups total soup), for which I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 - 10% fat instead of 18%. I liked it just as much, but if you're used to a bit more fat, go for the 18%. Using that, the soup is 170 cal per 1-cup serving. But it doesn't need the cream. Next time I'll make it without and throw in some black beans, fresh corn, and cilantro. A little cumin ... it'll be divine. You also have the choice to leave it chunky or puree it and make it velvety-smooth, whatever your likes dictate. I've never been a great fan of tomato soup but now I'm sold. And with garden tomatoes and peppers (roasted) ... sigh. I could have a Paula Deen-style foodgasm.
